If you could instantly get the qualifications, what would your dream job be?

[SneakyGremlins]

I'd love to be a forensic anthropologist. Didn't do well enough in school though if I was smart enough it'd be the best job ever!

Lawyer. (Currently studying for it) :)

Or in a fantasy land an FBI agent lol

I hated History at school (back then it was Tudors, Civil War, that kind of thing. WW1 was too recent as was WW2). I also got dragged round stately homes as a child.
I'd love to be an archaeologist. Found the Time Team programmes absolutely fascinating. I also have to be dragged out of stately homes nowadays because I'm still reading the information panels on display.

Industrial equipment reliability engineer! Lots of fun problem-solving and analysis, but also a great human component in terms of getting operators and maintenance techs to treat the equipment better.

A bit of a random one, I know!

Goodluck graphista. Id stupidly assumed you were on a laptop accessing mumnset - not sure why given I'm on my phone at the moment!!

I hope its something that can work for you. With my health the variable hours and ability to do it from home really appealed. I was just to scared to put myself out there!

Thanks. I hope so too.

My health has big ups and downs and on an up I can get overly optimistic. Last year this happened and I was applying for numerous jobs and looking into various possibilities.

Given my bouts of agoraphobia, screwed up body clock (which weirdly could be advantageous given time differences!), variable physical health concerns this seemed a perfect idea.

I already have a degree in English, have a clear speaking voice, good presentation skills, can get by in 5 other languages (though could probably do with brushing up on them) and from other roles I've developed the skills of breaking ideas down into simple terms.

The one stumbling block is ability to acquire the right equipment. Can't be just any desktop computer either the various companies have certain spec requirements (which frankly confuse the hell outta me!) but I'd figure that out if I were able to move forward.

I'm hoping as I say that once waters are calmer I can figure it out.

Maybe clinical psychologist or child psychologist.

Or marine biologist.

Or botanist.

Or chef.

I would love to be a vet.

Movie producer - Hollywood blockbuster one year. Independent Indi film the next!

Joined the Navy and specialised in something technical.
Or mining engineering/engineering- we used to gently take the piss at college about them digging holes, but I now work in a place where oil & gas is huge business and it is fascinating AND very lucrative.
Basically, I wish I hadn't fannied around doing something that interested me at uni first time (Eng Lit) and had gone for something that had a easy route to a good salary.

Drummer with AC/DC. OK, I'd be open to RSI but at least I'd have a pension. And a passport full of stamps.

I’d really like to be a surgeon in particular one who does gastric sleeves, like Dr Nowzaradan. I have seen a couple of tv shows and like the surgery they do and then the seeing people’s loves changed. That would be great.

Architect or town planner or something of that type. Someone who designs things that work to improve the look of the place, and hopefully have a knock on effect on people's quality of life.

I would play violin or cello in a major orchestra.

Agree Fixitup... oboe for me though

I’d love to work for the CDC in Atlanta

As it happens I’m currently doing a Biology degree hoping to do a PhD in Public Health and Epidemiology.

Gonna be a bit of a "well actually" person here, but there isn't a job called "child psychologist," so go ahead and call yourself one as it's not a protected title - should be though.

How does forensics link with psychologist?

Forensics is about the dead, and pyschology about the living - not seeing the link.

Love these type of threads..

A forensic psychologist works with offenders topcat2014 - forensic is anything to do with the criminal courts.

Barrister, after a couple of years a Judge.

I used to be a town planner. It’s very frustrating. The government piles on pressure from the top,the community are never happy at the bottom, it’s a fuck ton of beaucracy and you never actually design pretty places. Sadly I knew 2 town planners who killed themselves.

My first job is one that's been mentioned in a lot on this thread - it's not at all like the books or television portray

Is it something forensic?

A vet or a pharmacist.
